Canada’s premiers will be in Washington, D.C., this week on a diplomatic push following newly announced U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum and the ongoing threat of broad tariffs being placed on Canadian exports.
While Canada has been given a 30-day reprieve from sweeping tariffs, U.S. President Donald Trump on Feb. 10 and 11 ordered a 25 percent import tax on all steel and aluminum entering the United States, arguing the country’s “critical steel and aluminum industries” have been “harmed by unfair trade practices and global excess capacity.”
